Across
- 3. Fuel a fuel, such as firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets,and sawdust
- 5. power the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat
- 6. power a theoretical form of power generation in which energy will be generated by using nuclear fusion reactions to produce heat
- 7. We can use this energy to heat water or homes and it can be converted into electricity
- 8. a toxic, flammable liquid occurring in geologic formations beneath the earth's surface
- 9. The blades of the turbines turn a shaft which then powers a series of gears that feed into a generator and produce electricity
- 11. energy generated and stored in the Earth
- 12. a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen
- 13. A combustible sedimentary rock made up mostly of carbon and hydrocarbon
- 14. very heavy, fissile metal that can be caused to split in a fission chain reaction
Down
- 1. electricity
- 2. stored in a reservoir, generating a lot of potential energy
- 4. Turbine a propeller-type water turbine which has adjustable blades. It was developed in 1913 by Austrian professor Viktor Kaplan
- 5. Gas a gas that is made up mostly of methane and found near other fossil fuels, like coal
- 9. Energy is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work
- 10. Fuels made of the fossilized remains of living things that died millions of years ago
- 12. an energy encompasses a broad range of fuels including wood and other plant material, food waste, garbage, and manure
- 13. fusion a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature
